Home energy experts turn efforts to fundraising

National home efficiency company ENTU with their Southern Division are the latest company to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). ENTU have signed up to the nook business network scheme pledging to raise at least £25,000 for the cause.

The nook business network is a corporate scheme which will help EACH to deliver a new purpose-built children’s hospice in the heart of Norfolk. The scheme encourages local companies small, medium and large to commit to raising either £10,000, £15,000 or £25,000 over the duration of the appeal in return for a number of benefits and support that the charity will provide.

ENTU, which specialises in energy efficient products including windows, boilers, solar energy and cavity wall insulation, has a long history within Norfolk, supplying energy efficient products within the area for over 40 years. The company have supported a number of different charities over the past few years and this year have selected EACH as their chosen charity.

With representatives of the company attending the launch event of the nook appeal, in the presence of EACH Royal Patron, HRH The Duchess of Cambridge, the nook appeal fundraising team were delighted to learn ENTU’s Southern Division wanted to be part of the appeal and have committed to raising at least £25,000 throughout the duratio of the appeal.

Natalie Douglas, Group Marketing Director of ENTU’s Southern Division, said: “EACH is a great local charity offering fantastic support and care for children and their families within the community and we are delighted to be working with Gary Cook and his team throughout 2015 to help raise money for the new children’s hospice in Norfolk. We look forward to getting started with our fundraising initiatives and hope to involve the local community in our fundraising activity.”

Gary Cook, the nook appeal corporate fundraiser, said: “It was great to hear from ENTU so soon after our launch event saying that they wanted to get involved in the appeal in some way. Committing to raise £25,000 is absolutely fantastic and we’re very much looking forward to working with Natalie and the team.

“We won’t be able to realise our vision of a much needed new children’s hospice for Norfolk families without the support of all elements of the Norfolk community – individuals, community groups, schools and of course the business community plays a huge part in this so we are delighted that ENTU are on board joining a number of other Norfolk companies supporting our nook appeal by signing up to the nook business network.”
